If there were one thing I learned from my trip to Portofino two summers ago, it’s that the small fishing village turned glamorous vacation destination and hub for luxury pop-ups has some of the best people watching, well<\/em>, ever. Sure, there are interesting characters all around the yacht-lined harbor, but I mostly enjoyed sitting back at a caf\u00e9 and checking out the view because of the outfits everyone there wore. Let’s just say that summer style was on display, and I<\/em> was taking notes.<\/p>\n

Of course, that was two years ago, so perhaps circumstances have changed. But after perusing some paparazzi photos taken there this weekend of actress Tessa Thompson<\/a> and her boyfriend, Brandon Green, I’m convinced that Portofino street style is still as elite as ever. And this time, my notes had just one takeaway: Ditch my black heels<\/a> and swap them in for red ones whenever I’m wearing dresses for the rest of summer 2025<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Tessa Thompson: <\/strong>The Row Vika Leather Sandals<\/a> ($1100)<\/p>\n

For a stroll through the seaside town, Thompson donned a cream-colored sundress with black sunglasses, a camo-print bag, and a pair of The Row’s near-sold-out red Vika sandals. She could have easily chosen the same style or another heeled sandal<\/a> in black, a “safer” choice, but she didn’t, and her vacation outfit benefited from the decision. Her red kitten-heel sandals offered an unexpected twist to the traditional summer dress-and-sandals ensemble, turning it into an instantly copy-worthy look.<\/p>\n
